Chapter 35
It was a sunny day with great weather. A group of people had no time to do anything else. They sat in the house and worked together to stack gold ingots without stopping for a moment.
Qiongzhi said, "It's like a funeral in our county."
Shen Jiao wanted to say: If it really doesn’t work, just spend some money.
A group of notoriously lazy people in the yard suddenly suffered such a punishment. They all wanted to play tricks and tried all kinds of ways to sneak out and be lazy.
Yinhua was so angry that she found a rope and tied them all to the stool. If any one of them couldn't sit steadily, the whole group would fall down.
He is still not at peace. He doesn't do much work himself, but he keeps a close eye on how much others work and grumbles from time to time.
It's only been two or three days and seven or eight people have fallen out. By the time everything is done, it will be terrible because everyone in the yard will be your enemy.
It’s funny to think about it.
Shen Jiao had thought about all the sad things and was not able to laugh out loud, but she really could not hold on any longer.
Xue Shun has had little trouble these past two days, coming and going quietly every day as if he doesn't exist.
He had lost all his temper. Either he was still upset about that incident, or his anger was waxing and waning. When everyone was angry, he was calm instead.
And... she didn't know if it was an illusion, but Xue Shun seemed to like ordering her around recently. Even if he didn't take her to study, he would call her over as soon as he came back. He didn't say what for, but just let her stay by his side and occasionally do some homework for him, at most half of it, which was quite free.
Everyone in the hospital suspected that Shen Jiao had offended him again, but his attitude seemed quite gentle, which made people confused.
After dinner, it was Shen Jiao's turn to keep watch, and he said again, "No need, go back to sleep."
He did this two or three times.
Shen Jiao: "Sir, this is not good, right? I am supposed to be on guard duty."
"Did someone talk about you?" Xue Shun bent the bamboo strips without raising his head.
"That's not the case."
But she is afraid of it.
Master said that it’s okay to want to live a better life, but it’s not easy to live much better than those who work with you.
Xue Shun glanced at her, then looked away and said indifferently, "Just stay here if you're not tired."
Your kindness is taken as an insult.
"Yes." Shen Jiao didn't realize that he was angry again, and naturally reached out to make a river lantern.
Xue Shun raised his hand and pressed the bamboo strips on the table.
"Go make the bed. You don't have to do it today."
He said that after Shen Jiao made the bed, he was still working hard there, with several cuts on his hands, some deep and some shallow.
He is really not smart. He is clumsy in everything he does and always hurts himself.
Shen Jiao felt uncomfortable and wrapped him up with cloth.
Xue Shun uncomfortably turned his gaze away from Shen Jiao's face, not wanting to look at her. The lingering scent of medicine made his face flush. He thought it was just too hot, tugged at his clothes, his Adam's apple moving slightly as he swallowed, saying, "Tomorrow you take the money and buy some medicine for the wounds and share it with everyone else."
Shen Jiao didn't like going to crowded places: "The pharmacy in the village has medicine, can't I go somewhere to get it?"
Can Xue Shun afford to lose that person?
What should I say if someone asks me how I got hurt?
"Go when I tell you to. If you don't like going out, let Qiongzhi go. You can go to school with me tomorrow."
Didn't you say you didn't need anyone to accompany you these days? What's changed again?
"Then I'll get up early tomorrow," Shen Jiao said as she tied the knot and casually asked, "Is it tight like this?"
"good."
Shen Jiao finished wrapping it and went to hold his other hand: "Next time Doctor Sun comes, I should ask him for some medicine to keep on hand, otherwise I won't have it when I need it."
"It's not very useful, just think about it."
Xue Shun turned his hand slightly, but it was too late. Shen Jiao had already seen the thorn in his hand and pulled him with great force. He took out a needle from his pouch with one hand and picked it out, not giving him any chance to refuse.
Xue Shun wanted to lose his temper, but he held it back.
Shen Jiao waited for a long time but didn't hear the shout "Get out". She looked at him in confusion. Xue Shun turned his head away and didn't look at her. Maybe he didn't notice her?
Shen Jiao quickly put away her needlework and bandaged his hand: "The wound is not deep. It will heal soon."
"Hmm." Xue Shun raised his hand and took a look. It was wrapped more tightly and carefully, but it felt a little strange. The place where his hand was touched felt itchy and hot, and it seemed to have... a little medicinal fragrance, which smelled very comfortable.
When Shen Jiao turned around to put something away, Xue Shun raised his finger and sniffed it under his nose, then put it down in a panic when she turned around.
A wave of heat surged up, making him feel uneasy.
Shen Jiao looked at him doubtfully: "Sir, you..."
"What's wrong with me?" Xue Shun's eyes were vague.
Shen Jiao: "Do you have a fever? Why is your face... so red?"
As she spoke, she walked over and reached out to touch his forehead. Xue Shun turned his head away and stood up in a panic to avoid her.
"I don't have a fever."
It's almost estrus.
"Go to bed early."
"Yes, I will help you change your clothes and wash up."
"No need!" Xue Shun said as he took off his clothes while facing away from her. "I'm too tired today. I won't wash it. I'll do it tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he kicked off his boots and got under the quilt. That was so fast.
Are you so sleepy?
Could it be that he is sick and not only refuses to take medicine but also hides away?
Never mind, if he feels uncomfortable, he won’t be able to endure it for long.
Shen Jiao helped him tidy up the quilt and lowered the curtains before picking up the clothes on the ground. Xue Shun took the opportunity to reach out, pull off his socks and throw them out.
Shen Jiao turned around and saw that the figure lying in the curtain hadn't moved or uttered a single word, but there was an extra pair of socks on the floor...
There must be a problem.
She didn't bother to investigate further. She cleared the table, spread the quilt on the floor, turned off the light, and wanted to go to sleep, but she was afraid that he would suddenly toss and turn, so she started meditating.
I haven't used my spiritual power for a long time, and I feel a lot less accustomed to it. I can't calm down for a while, thinking about all sorts of things, and even pondering:
Speaking of which, Xue Shun should practice martial arts, but how come I've never seen him practice before? I only saw him practicing a few times in the backyard, and his punches weren't very good.
I heard that he is not very talented in martial arts.
You haven't given up, have you?
That’s right, nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to give up and go to sleep!
Shen Jiao lowered her head.
It takes time to calm down, but it's quick to fall asleep.
Xue Shun couldn't sleep and he suspected he was going crazy.
How can you see the word gentleness in her?
He has the same expression every day.
He's crazy, he must be crazy. He needs to take some medicine to treat it. Otherwise, it's not right for him to be in heat everywhere like this.
Xue Shun lifted the curtain and took a peek.
Shen Jiao turned her head as if realizing something: "Young Master?"
The moonlight coming through the window made her eyes shine brightly.
The curtains were thrown back in an instant.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?"
"No, sleep on yours."
Xue Shun's voice was a little low.
Shen Jiao: ...Your throat won’t be hoarse again, will it?
She sat back and waited for most of the night, but he didn't say a word. The next day, her face was no longer red, but he actually didn't allow the maids to serve him close to her.
He cleaned up himself, but he still felt it was too close for Shen Jiao to serve the dishes.
He clearly told her to follow him yesterday, but he changed his mind this morning.
Shen Jiao didn't feel comfortable asking her to go back and rest. Qiongzhi, who had been guarding the corridor all night, was too diligent. She was busy for half a day, went down the mountain to buy medicine, and continued working when she came back.
Shen Jiao only slept for a short while before getting up again.
